>      Knoppix is a live CD (700M) or live DVD (3.2G) based on Debian GNU/Linux, with lots of
      ready-to-run programs (web browser, office suite, a few games, and more), using
      <ABBR
CLASS="ABBREV"
>KDE</ABBR
> as desktop environment. It can be booted directly from CD, without
      any installation needed. You can download it from <A
HREF="http://www.knoppix.org/"

>knoppix.org</A
>.

></H2
><P
>      As Knoppix runs completely from CD/DVD, you don't need to setup a hard disk. You just need to set up
      the location of the downloaded ISO image in your <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>bochsrc</TT
>, and make Bochs boot
      from it. Because Knoppix contains a graphical user interface, and has no other storage space but
      the emulated RAM, it needs at least 128MB of it, see
      <A
HREF="bochsrc.html#BOCHSOPT-MEGS"
>megs option</A
>. Furthermore, you need to enable VBE support in
      Bochs (see <A
HREF="vesa-notes.html"
>Section 8.16</A
>).
